On the night of the masked ball, a woman developed a migraine and told her
husband to go alone. Later she felt better, so she got into her costume, wh
ich her husband had never seen. When she arrived and saw her spouse prancing
around with one woman after another, she decided to get even.
Seductively, she whispered sweet nothings in his ear and after a long embr
ace lure him to the garden. Just before midnight, when everyone was to unmas
k, the woman slipped away and returned home. Her husband didn't arrive until
3 a.m.
"How was the party?" she asked.
"Dull." he said.
"Did you dance much?"
"To tell the truth," her husband replied, "when I got there I saw that Pet
er, Bill and Fred were stag, too, so we went into the den and played poker." "You played cards all night?" she shrieked.
"Yeah," he told her."I gave my costume to Charlie. He said he had the time
of his life."
